    2-0 Man City.

    Still think Fulham will stay up though.

    I still think it will come down to that last game at home to Newcastle

    Let's hope so.

    A bit unfair if Fulham are allowed home fans though.

    Burnley, Fulham and WBA have played 29 games we have played 28 and BHA only 27. Would like to see Fulham survive but......

    If fans are allowed back, then the PL are going to move a round of fixtures...all clubs will then get one home game with fans.

    Still would have to be an advantage to Fulham though, if it's the vital relegation deciding fixture.

    Paul Heckingbottom takes charge of Sheff Utd until the end of the season.

    Tommy Tuchel is yet another big mouthed kraut who likes to gob off about everything. The Southampton boss still going on about how we cheated him, Farke complaining about Bielsa this week twice, and now Tuchel having a go at Victor Orta and our pitch. Something rotten about Chelsea ever since it was tainted by Ken Bates

    All London based teams already have an advantage of at least one game with fans in the ground, didn’t Liverpool and Everton too?

    Yes mate

    Dont think fans will be allowed back in for Prem matches as its too tight at the bottom and Southern clubs will get a perceived advantage. They will be allowed into Wembley for the Fa Cup

    They were on about moving fixtures around to ensure ALL PL teams get a home fixture at the end of the season. That would be two full rounds of PL fixtures with crowds of up to 10,000.

    This story is coming back again for the 3rd transfer window in a row, and could be true. Apparently Bielsa has wanted Liverpool’s Yasser Larouci for ages but greedy Liverpool wanted over £10m for him. In January his name cropped up again and since then he has refused a new contract and wants out. His contract ends in June so a free agent except whoever gets him will have to pay something as hes been at Liverpool since 16 or 17.

    He is a Bielsa type player, fast and aggressive LWB and we have a need for a new LB, so there could be truth in it? Larouci has played 2 FA Cup games for the Liverpool team but spends all his time with the U23s. So is this 20yo better than our 20yo Naill Huggins or Leif Davies? Having not seen Larouci I can only guess that he maybe better in the tackle but cannot see him being faster than Huggins or as skilful as Huggins.

    So important time for our U23s as it could mean we bring in young players for the first team who are the same age, which means they stand no chance of promotion and therefore will be sold or released. We have to trust in what Bielsa thinks I suppose, but if I were Huggins or Davies and Larouci is brought in I would be devastated

    Monday 1pm at Thorp Arch we should have Leeds U23s up against Newcastle. It will be live on YouTube and I hope we will get to see how good we are in defence with Drameh Cresswell Casey Huggins or Davies and Nohan Kenneh protecting them. Hope we get to see Greenwood and Gelhardt and the craft of Summerville and McKinstry. Robin Koch and Berardi should be getting game time too

    Nothing wrong with Jammy, or any other poster on here tbh. Jammy tends to have different views,doesn't mean he's wrong, or right, :emoticon-0148-yes:

    There are some top teenage talent already playing for top 6 prem teams and suggest we could do with finding out if any of ours are worth a go.
    • Silva 18yo at Wolves 2 goals
    • Saka 19yo Arsenal 5 goals
    • Alt-Nouri 19yo Wolves 1 goal
    • Greenwood 19yo Man Utd 1 goal but scored 20 as an 18yo last season
    • Hudson-Adui 19yo Chelsea 1 goal
    • Garcia 19yo Man City
    • Saliba 19yo Arsenal
    • Fofana 19yo Leicester

    Silva at Wolves looks totally out of his depth and they paid £35m for him <yikes>
